Stuart Vevers is the man behind the American brand’s youthful refresh. Remember those cool outfits Emma Roberts wore to Coachella? Well, the designer is giving us a reason to stick to the status quo this season through his fresh new take on varsity jackets: the bigger, the better! Not to mention, his tough leather patches put all of ours to shame.

Props to Alessandro Michele for never failing to wow us season after season. Aside from the bookish ‘70s-inspired prints, Gucci’s vision of the varsity sweater also rings in another era: the Renaissance. Check out his collection and you’ll find it’s peppered with leg of mutton sleeves—it’s as if the high school bookworm traveled back in time.

Who said it has to be in red and blue stripes or any color whatsoever? Marc Jacobs brought back the image of the stereotypical goth with a dark palette, IDGAF separates in sizes larger than usual, and even streetwear inspired pullovers! Cop the look by donning sweaters that go the extremes—with sleeves that reach your fingertips.
